Product Designer & Manager.
I am a product designer and design manager with 10+ years of experience as a designer and 3+ years of experience leading teams and mentoring designers. I have extensive experience leading design on 0-1 products across mobile and web. I work very closely with product managers, software developers, and other stakeholders to define and ship products.
I was an early member of the design team at ChargePoint. I started when the company was 150 people and saw it scale to 1500+ people. During my time there, I led design on both consumer and enterprise products. The iOS mobile app for electric vehicle drivers that I led design on was featured by Apple as an app of the day. I led a team of 3 people to design and deliver a 0-1 enterprise web app for EV fleet owners. The app helped create a new business vertical for ChargePoint. I helped grow the design team from 3 to 7 people.
I am exploring new opportunities and I am open to staff/principal level IC roles, or manager roles. As a manager, I enjoy the work of designing and would thrive in a player-coach role.
City lover. Museum fan. Cinema buff.
I enjoy traveling to cities, watching cinema, and going to museums. My favorite film is Yasujiro Ozu’s Tokyo Story. My favorite city to visit is Amsterdam. My favorite museum in the bay area is the Oakland Museum of California. I am known to take people on long walks in SF and tell them about its history.
I’ve been in the US for 17 years, and have lived in Indiana, Colorado, Michigan, and California. I’ve conducted user research in New Delhi, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Copenhagen, Nashville, Michigan, and California. I enjoy taking pictures on my phone when I travel.
